Steady

This gem is aimed at helping speed up ruby webapps by putting reoccuring but non time critical tasks into a background thread.
It aids with the periodic scheduling as well as the threading issues that arise from moving data between threads.

Example

Scheduler = Steady::Scheduler.new
Scheduler.every 3.seconds do |changes|
changes[:plans] = JSON.parse(open("http://mysite.com/plans.json"))
end
# Run all above tasks now to get initial data
Scheduler.run
# Schedule a thread to do this periodically
Scheduler.schedule
# Access your data in a thread safe manner
Scheduler.data[:plans]
